Treatments

Orthodontic care, tailored to you.

There is more than one way to create a healthy smile. We’ll explain your options and recommend a plan based on your teeth, bite, goals and lifestyle.

01

Invisalign® clear aligners

A series of custom, removable aligners gradually guides teeth into position. Invisalign is an option for children, teens and adults, depending on the bite and treatment goals.

Our iTero digital scans help create your personalized plan. Aligners need consistent daily wear; your orthodontist explains when to change them and removes the guesswork about your next step. Remove them for meals and brushing, then put them back in as directed.

Best discussed if you want a discreet, removable treatment option and can commit to the prescribed wear schedule.

02

Self-ligating braces

Braces use brackets and a wire to move teeth. Self-ligating brackets hold the wire with a built-in mechanism rather than the traditional elastic ties.

We offer clear and metal options, with optional colors. Braces stay in place throughout treatment, so they don’t depend on remembering to put an aligner back in. Your orthodontist makes adjustments and monitors your bite at regular visits.

Your doctor will explain which appliance is appropriate for your teeth, bite and daily routine.

03

Early orthodontic treatment

An evaluation while a child is growing helps identify developing bite concerns and whether there is enough space for permanent teeth. An early visit does not automatically mean a child needs braces.

When treatment is appropriate, it may help guide jaw growth, create space for permanent teeth, or address a developing bite problem. Sometimes the best recommendation is simply to monitor growth before starting treatment.

A consultation helps you understand whether to begin treatment now or keep watching your child’s development.

Digital orthodontics

Digital scans, photos and X-rays help your orthodontist understand your teeth and bite and plan your care. The office uses iTero 3D scanning for Invisalign planning.

A digital model lets the team evaluate your smile in detail. Your doctor explains the records needed for your case, your options and what to expect as treatment progresses.

Technology supports the plan; your orthodontist’s evaluation determines the right treatment for you.
